[PATCH v2 16/23] trace2: destroy context stored in thread-local storage

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Sep 26, 2024, 11:46 UTC
Message-ID
<30928eb8f9ce4c2e6a82f566ff740c31604b0d5e.1727351062.git.ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1727351062.git.ps@pks.im>

Each thread may have a specific context in the trace2 subsystem that we set up via thread-local storage. We do not set up a destructor for this data though, which means that the context data will leak.

Plug this leak by installing a destructor. This leak is exposed by t7814, but plugging it alone does not make the whole test suite pass.
